PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES AND SUMMER HERBS
From the August 2009 New York Times, courtesy of Julia Moskin. This one dish meal is designed to be quick and satisfying to a wide range of tastes (note several options). It's also very easy to make, but needs time to marinate. Spend a few minutes in the kitchen after lunch and all you need to do for dinner is cook the pasta. This recipe can be easily halved for fewer diners. I picked the vegetarian option, but you could substitute tuna for the cheese if you'd prefer. My preference might be to add more tomatoes and/or reduce the pasta to sauce ratio.
